Monday Morning Totally Stinks

Monday Morning Totally Stinks

Since there was that apocalyptic thermal shift last night which we didn’t know was coming, we left our windows open like usual. Therefore, Joey and I slept really terribly last night. Like, waking up every 2 hours (at least) kind of terrible.

And when the alarm went off at 6 and Jeeves whirred to life in the kitchen, we slapped the snooze. And slapped it, and slapped it, and slapped it. We finally re-set our alarms for 7:00 and, once the alarms went off…WE STILL DID NOT GET OUT OF BED.

About 7:05, we kicked into high gear. This is how awesome we managed to be in just under 40 minutes:

  • Joey poured the coffee and ate the rest of his Cocoa Krispies that he practically threw a tantrum at the store in order to get
  • I tossed a rather lousy lunch together for him.  Sorry, Babe.
  • I pulled some stuff out of the freezer (Pennsylvania Dutch Corn Chowder) for dinner tonight, but then remembered we already have burgers thawed and if we do that we could grill some carrots, thereby reducing our massive carrot inventory.
  • I took poor Henry outside because he was jittering by the front door. It rained last night and he refused to go outside, which I feel like it more of his fault than my problem.
  • Joey cleaned out Jeeves.
  • Joey emptied the dishwasher (bonus!)
  • I made the bed.
  • I showered, got ready and even flat-ironed my hair (bonus!)
  • Joey also showered, but took a SERIOUSLY LONG SHOWER or we could have been out the door 10 minutes before we were.

All told, we were only ten minutes behind schedule once we got to the car. That’s not bad, since we overslept by an hour. Having the temps go from 80 on Saturday and Sunday to a high of merely 58 today really messes me up. All I want to do is climb back in bed and sleeeeeeeep.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.

  1. If Chanel refuses to do her business before we crate her for the night and then she barks in the night cuz she has to go – i yell at her – because that is totally her fault – not mine – and I will NOT get out of bed because she was to prissy to step on wet grass. :-) So, I’m with you on that point!
